If I'm Quiet, it Means I'm Up to Something...

Friday, February 10, 2012

My mom always said she never worried about me, unless she couldn't hear me. If I was quiet, I was usually up to something. That pretty much still goes for today. I've been relatively quiet since my last vlog. Nothing's wrong. I haven't been suffering from Post Day 300 Blues. Nope, today is Day 313--the streak lives! I'm thinking of going ahead and shooting for 365; I figure I might as well. So, everything's all right. In fact, I'm having the time of my life. I've just been up to stuff, lots of stuff. Excuse me, while I gleefully rub my hands together. Muwahahaha.

I've been tied up (in a good way) on a big editing project with a group of friends. It's not Spark stuff, but it's kept me busy. I'm also working on several Sparky projects at the same time. I'm really excited about them, but they're not quite ready yet. Stay tuned. I know you're all glued to your seats, ha ha.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a holler that I'm still here. AND I wanted to share an incredible SparkDream that came to me yesterday. Here it is: Wouldn't it be cool to do a Sparkumentary someday?? I'm a total geek when it comes to documentaries; I actually like a lot of them. More than that, I actually like making those types of videos. Major Geek Alert. But I was thinking--wouldn't it be amazing, to grab my camera gear, hit the road and go meet my SparkBuddies in person? Really see you, hear your stories, do something fun together? I mean, WOW, that would be so cool!! I know what's happening now. You're all scurrying over to the bio section of your page, thinking, "Please tell me I didn't put my location on here. I just know Shelli's gonna show up at my door and make me hula hoop on camera." Don't worry. I won't. Yet. But isn't it fun to think about? Muwahahaha.

Have a great day and Happy continuing the streak!!! This is a lifestyle change after all!! At this point, you'd probably have a hard time not continuing it! Keep up the great work!!! You are 2229 days ago

Your last vlog inspired me to try hooping myself. So, beins that my budget lost weight sometime back, I am making my own hoops as well. Found several videos on how to do it...so got the supplies and my twin sis and I are going to take pics/vids of our little hoop assembly.

Sounds like a plan!! Will Chris Downie spring for a trip to Aussie for you - we will have a big band and a hooping girls choir to meet you at the airport!!! Yeah!! Great idea!! We can go zorbing together!!! Gotta love Miss Piggy!!

Your Hoopitorium is soo clean!! my workout room shares with a bunny and for some reason her stuff keeps taking over lol. I need to do a makeover and take back my space. Right now I hoop in a room that has a floor to celieng cat tree (thats broke) laying in the middle of the floor and I hoop around it lol. as long as I can still get into the room I wont be stopped lol.

you are one brave chickie! Show up at my door and be prepared to clean the corneas with bleach!! I am not at my best in winter,, but head on up I-75,, , yes I DID check my page to see if I actually slammed dwon my addy but alas, my brain did kick in long enoughto be very afraid.. of one particular Sparker..

that campy, dare-to-be-different kinda gal, JUST LIKE ME!! I do feel secure knowing that I have already given the heads-up to the neighbors on either side of me: police officers with police dogs! I do have a very large back yard though, you can bring in your uptown hoops to sneer at my cheap plastic one I got tossed to me by a major rock band at a concert here years ago,, cannot part with it,,IT MUST BE KISMET!!! All I got is a trick I made a LOT of money with:how to put a dollar bill through an apple.. nothing as kewl as hooping.. I am always open for it though...2229 days ago

I think your documentary is an absolutely fabulous idea! As a member of Netflex I usually only watch documentaries. I think the Sparkguy should support you in this and put you on the road and in a Sparkmobile. I would like the documentary to show people who need to lose 10 pounds to 400 pounds but show how a lot of the issues around weight are the same. Even show people normal weight but eat poorly so joined just to eat healthier. Show how you have to enjoy your exercise to keep with it and show hoopers (Hey Audrey, you need to join so we can film you and represent the teens who want to stay healthy.) To all sorts of and interesting ways to stay fit. Love the idea! With your personality it would turn out very interesting and enjoyable.2229 days ago

I pulled up your profile picture last night and thought that you should work for Spark People. I love your idea. I wish they would fund it and that we could have videos to watch of other members. I have known of two Sparkers that have passed on. I think it would be a great tribute to members and also a great way to tell their stories.

Maybe they could have a contest, Win a visit from Shelli. Chris Downie, what do you think?2229 days ago

You are so much fun! I love your Hoopatorium too; hoop envy is setting in again! Hmmmm . . . Sparkumentary?! You know you could hit Me, Jeri, Shannon the same day by heading down I75! We've never gotten together but I'm thinking we're two hours from you and probably 30-40 minutes from each other. Hmmm. . .You know, I do pretty well; but, I really wish I had your energy too! You go girl!!2229 days ago

My Mom always used to worry about me when she couldn't hear me, too. Guess she had good reason . . . BWAHAHAHAHA! Did your Mom ever put the "MOM CURSE" on you (When you grow up I hope you have a dozen kids just like you!" ) I never "got it" till I had kids. **SIGH** Wait wait . . . she DID IT! She cursed me. Well, not a dozen kids, but two. LOL

SNOWANGELDIVA I will trap you in my igloo should you ever venture my way...you should bring Audrey, Logan and Randy just in case.Just sayin'.F.Y.I. Miss. Piggy is my heroine.I wanna come visit you and play in the Hoopatorium!

I would LOVE to see something like a Spark Road Trip happen...SparkDreams do come true!

I think a Sparkumentary sounds pretty dang awesome! I would love it if you showed up at my door!! We'd have a blast I just know it. Maybe Spark would even sponsor something like that - how fun to have a bunch of vids of folks doing the spark thing. Talk about inspiring!2229 days ago

That would be cool Shelli. I live in an area where there just aren't many sparkers for some reason. I'm often at the top of the list for sparkpoints and exercise for my local team, if that gives you a clue to how sparse it is here. I often wish there was a local group of us to meet face to face and support each other thru the ups and downs. Your video would be help fill the gap.2229 days ago
